IMPROVED Baronet-rowan.

The Schedule referred to in theseLettets Patent and making part of the same it all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. ELLIOTT, of Metamora, in the county of Woodford and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new auduseful I1nwill now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, which represents a side elevation of my machine.

A represents a ratchet-wheel, mounted upon a shaft, to which it is desired to give a rotary motion.

At the side of the ratchet-wheel A are placed two standards, B B, upon the inner side of one of which is pivoted a long lever, 0, provided with a pawl, D,

to engage with the wheel.

'The inner end of the lever O is forked, and the I tongue at of another lever, E, is inserted therein, said tongue being provided with a pin, b, which passes through the same and through slots in the forked end of the lever O.

. The lever E is pivoted on the inner side of the other standard B, and provided with a hook, G, which also engages with the ratchet-wheel A.

By working the long lever 0 up and down, a con.- tinuous rotary motion is imparted to the ratchetwheel A, and to the shaft upon which it is placed.

Having thus fully' described my invention,

' What 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination of the ratchet-whecl A, levers O E, pawl D, and hook G, all constructed as described, and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing-I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of March, 1870.
